#WaylandEnable=false

{{% notice note %}} Please reboot to make above changes taking effect. {{% /notice %}}

Permissions Issue

If SELinux is enabled, RustDesk will not work properly in either X11 or Wayland environments, related issues.

You can run:

$ sudo grep 'comm="rustdesk"' /var/log/audit/audit.log | tail -1
type=AVC msg=audit(1697902459.165:707): avc:  denied  { name_connect } for  pid=31346 comm="rustdesk" dest=53330 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:ephemeral_port_t:s0 tclass=tcp_socket permissive=0

NOTE: The number in parentheses after audit is timestamp.

If the output contains avc: denied, you need to add SElinux policies, please refer to SELinux.
